ArmInfo. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated during a briefing on August 28 that Moscow's position regarding unblocking ties between Yerevan and Baku "is obvious because it is well known." She was commenting on the idea of constructing the so- called "Zangezur corridor" and Iran's position on the matter.

"The route, which is intended to connect the main part of Azerbaijan with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic through the territory of Armenia, along with several other routes, is currently being discussed within the framework of the trilateral working group on unblocking all economic and transport ties in the South Caucasus under the joint chairmanship of the deputy prime ministers of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. The work in this trilateral working group is being carried out in accordance with trilateral agreements that were reached at the highest level, including those made on November 9, 2020 and January 11, 2021. We have seen statements by Iranian officials expressing concern about the idea of building the so-called "Zangezur corridor" and explaining the reasons for this approach, this attitude, it seems to me that you should contact Tehran directly," she said. According to her, Moscow proceeds from the fact that the relevant agreements will be implemented by mutual consent of the parties and on mutually acceptable terms, in a way that meets the interests of both Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as neighboring countries in the region such as Russia, Iran and Turkey."
